‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Casts the First Transgender of the Show

Soon to join the 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' is Arthur. Well, he was born Arthur, but is now Amiyah Scott, a 27-year old model whose transformation began 10 years go. She is rumored to have dated some celebrities, like Souljah Boy and, Ocho Cinco, and Boobie Gibson.

Amiyah is taking the place of NeNe Leakes, who stepped down from the show, reports TMZ.  Another addition to this Bravo reality TV series is Kim Fields, who played the role 'Tootie' in the 1980's sitcom, 'The Facts of Life'.

It's a bit difficult to pin down a description about Amiyah. She describes herself in very creative ways, like the 'unicorn with an invisible horn', also as a make-up guru, a mermaid, a transformer and beauty consultant, and as a weaveologist. 

She has a website, Model Mayhem.  This 27-year old brunette stunner claims to be born in Manhattan, New York, but grew up in New Orleans, and thus refers to herself as 'the ultimate Southern Belle with an up north twist'.

Her site calls itself a modeling community, where one can be a member for free. It is open to models, photographers, advertising agencies, casting agencies and a lot more players in the industry.   If you were a photographer or a casting executive, you can also choose models you may want from the portfolio of the members.  You can easily browse by specifying location and the type of services you need.

Amiyah is joining the reality TV series that started 7 years ago, a third installment to the franchise 'The Real Housewives', the first being that of the Orange County, and the second, of New York.  As of February 2014, it was the most successful in the franchise, beating out the others, in terms of viewership. The show is coming on to its 8th season.
